System of equations!

Algebra Level 5

Which one of the following conditions must p, q and r satisfy so that the following system of linear simultaneous equations has at least one solution, such that p+q+r is not equal to 0

x+ 2y – 3z = p

2x + 6y – 11z = q

x – 2y + 7z = r

Your options-

  1. 5p –2q – r = 0

  2. 5p + 2q + r = 0

  3. 5p + 2q – r = 0

  4. 5p – 2q + r = 0

2 4 3 none of these! 1

If you haven't studied matrix ...try to reduce no. of variables ,

Equation (ii)-2(iii), 10 y 25 z = q 2 r . . . . ( i v ) 10y-25z=q-2r\quad ....\left( iv \right)

Equation (ii)-2(i), 2 y 5 z = q 2 p o r , 10 y 25 z = 5 q 10 p . . . ( v ) 2y-5z=q-2p\quad \\ \\ or,\quad 10y-25z=5q-10p\quad ...\left( v \right)

Equation (iv) & (v) will have solution only if, q 2 r = 5 q 10 p 5 p 2 q r = 0 q-2r=5q-10p\\ \\ \Rightarrow 5p-2q-r=0
